Cilantro-Lime Coleslaw

I’m not going to lie, coleslaw was never something I got excited about. Usually they were the leftover at the picnic or the barbecue, overly sweet, and often soggy.

Recently there was a recipe that we wanted a light, fresh, cool side to accompany, and were determined to come up with a tasty coleslaw to compliment it, and I think we nailed it! This recipe is paired down so that it works as a side for 2-3 people, and can easily be doubled or quadrupled for a party!
